Letter  of  the  President  of  the  University  to 
The  Board  of  Regents. 

To  the  Regents  of  Georgetown  University. 

Gentlemen:  It  gives  us  great  pleasure  to  present  the 
Triennial  Report  of  the  Extra-Curriculum  Activities  of 
Georgetown  University.  We  have  requested  the  heads 
of  the  several  departments  to  submit  to  us  a  full  and 
detailed  report  of  the  more  noteworthy  activities  from 
September  1919  to  June  1922.  We  have  read  these 
reports  with  care  and  interest;  we  feel  moreover  that 
we  have  every  reason  to  assume  that  our  Alumni  will 
welcome  these  pages  wherein  they  can  find  an  authentic 
statement  of  what  has  been  accomplished  during 
the  three  important  years  just  elapsed,  Our  Colleges 
were  put  to  great  test  during  the  World  War  and  the 
period  of  reconstruction  has  been  not  a  little  fraught 
with  anxiety.  The  successes  of  those  who  have  gone 
before  have  increased  our  confidence  in  the  training 
given  in  our  invenerable  Institution  and  also  in  those 
traditional  activities  which  have  always  been  cherished 
at  Georgetown.  The  friends  of  the  University  will  no 
doubt  find  this  report  acceptable;  they  will,  we  trust:,  be 
all  the  more  willing  to  show  their  interest  in  our  several 
undertakings.  The  faculty  will  be  encouraged  by  the 
appreciation  expressed  and  the  students  will  be  urged 
to  exert  themselves  with  all  the  more  zest  when  they 
see  their  efforts  receive  the  recognition  of  those  in 
charge. 

The  value  of  Extra-Curriculum  Activities  should  be 
evident  to  all.  Their  encroachment  upon  the  time  of 
the  strictly  curriculum  pursuits  has  been  allowed  in 
some  institutions  and  the  more  conservative  educators 
are  quite  right  in  fearing  lest  these  activities  become  so 


8  GEORGETOWN   UNIVERSITY 

much  a  matter  of  course  that  the  time  honored  studies 
be  all  but  forgotten  and  made  at  best  matters  of  mere 
routine.  It  is  true  too  that  some  schools  are  better 
known  through  their  activities  on  the  athletic  field  than 
through  their  scholarship  and  scholastic  triumphs. 
While  this  is  highly  regrettable,  it  would  be  altogether 
unreasonable  to  set  aside  all  extra-curriculum  activities 
because  of  the  abuse  of  the  minority.  Fortunately  for 
Georgetown  we  have  at  no  time  heard  any  complaint 
from  those  in  charge  of  studies  and  we  have  every 
reason  to  feel  that  we  have  thus  far  been  able  to  keep 
to  the  golden  mean.  While  we  would  not  suffer  the  loss 
of  one  jot  or  tittle  of  the  courses  of  study,  we  cannot 
deny  that  marked  advantages  are  derived  from  the 
extra-curriculum  activities  when  these  are  properly 
guided  and  held  within  bounds. 

In  the  first  place  the  extra-curriculum  activities  tend 
to  excite  greater  enthusiasm  among  the  students  and  in 
many  cases  enable  them  to  put  in  practice  the  principles 
exposed  in  the  classroom.  If  conducted  in  a  proper 
way  as  a  means  and  not  as  an  end  in  themselves  the 
various  societies,  the  extraordinary  lectures,  the  student 
publications  and  even  the  outdoor  sports  give  a  stimulus 
that  cannot  be  secured  elsewhere;  they  are  quite 
often  directly  productive  of  that  college  spirit  which 
is  so  highly  prized  by  institutions  today.  They  create 
an  attractive  atmosphere  while  at  the  same  time  their 
cultural  influence  is  felt  by  all.  They  bring  out  latent 
talent  and  look  to  the  development  of  the  whole  man. 
Moreover,  the  various  contests  give  a  splendid  chance 
for  the  students  to  exhibit  their  versatility  and  their 
adaptibility;  they  develop  an  invaluable  self-reliance 
and  elicit  a  consciouness  of  one's  own  worth.  The  great 
effort  of  the  University  is  to  train  leaders;  it  can  be 
justly  claimed  that  this  is  served  in  no  slight  way  by  the 
extra-curriculum  activities.  Their  moral  value  is  not  to 
be  passed  over  lightly.  Self-sacrifice  and  self-restraint 
are  constantly  needed  and  a  spirit  of  co-operation  is 
fostered;  good  fellowship  is  spread  among  a  large 
number  and  where  there  is  fair  play  a  sense  of  justice 
is  unconsciously  developed.  We  feel  then  that  we  have 
every  reason  to  be  proud  of  our  present  record.    The 


LETTER   OF  THE   PRESIDENT  9 

three  years  which  have  just  elapsed  and  which  were  so 
important  for  all  schools  have  been  triumphant  in  many 
diverse  ways  at  Georgetown.  The  perusal  of  the  pages 
that  follow  will  give  ample  evidence  to  this. 

We  are,  therefore,  most  anxious  that  our  students 
continue  with  the  same  earnestness  their  extra-curric- 
ulum activities.  There  should  be  no  student  in  our  midst 
who  does  exercise  himself  in  several  fields.  For  many 
years  our  College  boasted  of  two  thriving  debating 
societies,  but  lately  so  many  have  sought  entrance  that 
there  are  four  such  societies  and  others  too  will  be 
encouraged  if  there  be  any  demand.  We  wish  every 
student  of  Georgetown  to  feel  that  he  is  welcome  and 
that  there  is  room  for  all  in  the  several  fields  that  have 
met  with  our  approbation.  We  cannot  expect  that  the 
same  laurels  will  be  so  abundantly  obtained;  we  desire, 
however,  that  our  students  be  none  the  less  eager 
and  that  they  fight  a  good  fight  for  victory.  Our  debating 
societies  must  continue  to  exercise  themselves  in  rival 
discussions  of  questions  of  moment,  ever  seeking  to 
defend  the  truth  through  positive  argumentation  or  the 
refutation  of  specious  objections.  Parliamentary  pro- 
cedure is  to  be  observed  and  every  means  employed  that 
will  help  to  make  our  students  adepts  in  argumentation. 
We  should  like  to  see  our  lecture  service  continue  with 
the  same  splendid  success;  we  trust  that  it  will  enjoy 
a  more  extensive  field  of  activity.  Exercises  in  dra- 
matics can  be  no  better  than  those  traditional  at  George- 
town. The  annual  presentation  of  a  play  of  Shakespeare 
means  much  for  the  entire  institution;  for  not  only  do 
the  participants  profit  by  the  storing  away  in  their 
minds  the  rich  imagery  and  wealth  of  diction  of  the 
greatest  of  poets  but  our  entire  student  body  and  our 
patrons  derive  benefit  from  even  a  student  represen- 
tation of  a  masterpiece.  We  should  regret  to  see  the 
intrusion  of  ephemeral  dramas  which  are  mere  fads  of 
foolish  fashion  and  which  possess  naught  of  value 
to  any  one.  The  lot  of  the  librarian  is  not  an  easy  one 
nowadays;  less  patience  is  shown  every  day  in  the 
perusal  of  the  classics  of  our  own  literature  even  in 
the  field  of  fiction.    Every  stimulus  should  be  given  our 


10  GEORGETOWN   UNIVERSITY 

students  to  encourage  the  reading  of  books  and  periodi- 
cals worth  while.  The  student  publications  are  not  to 
be  degraded  into  mere  mediums  for  the  display  of 
inane  pleasantry  and  unprofitable  cant.  The  College 
Journal  has  completed  fifty  years  of  dignified  service 
and  has  ever  resisted  the  temptation  to  the  downward 
tread  of  similar  publications;  the  columns  of  the  past 
are  the  proud  memorials  of  the  training  received  within 
these  venerable  halls.  The  Law  Journal  is  doing  a 
great  work  in  spreading  broadcast  treatises  of  worth 
by  masters  of  jurisprudence.  While  of  its  very  nature 
it  cannot  become  popular,  it  surely  deserves  the  hearty 
support  of  the  faculties  and  the  Alumni  and  the 
Students  of  the  Law  and  Foreign  Service  Schools.  We 
trust  that  the  time  is  not  far  off  when  our  newest  school 
may  have  a  publication  of  its  own.  The  Hoya,  our 
weekly  paper,  the  purveyor  of  University  and  Alumni 
news,  has  received  the  highest  praise  from  journalists 
and  educators.  We  are  told  that  it  is  unique  in  its 
dignity,  its  appropriate  reserve  and  its  attractive  time- 
liness. Many  student  publications  have  of  late  been 
degraded  into  repositories  of  offensive  jests;  nay,  even 
the  happenings  recorded  often  do  little  credit  to  their 
institution.  Our  weekly  paper  must  realize  that  its  very 
title  to  existence  rests  upon  the  dignified  presentation  of 
Alumni  and  University  news. 

The  excellent  reputation  of  those  who  have  competed 
in  inter-collegiate  and  inter-class  outdoor  sports  must 
continue.  We  should  regret  to  see  any  diminution  in 
the  splendid  spirit  of  sportmanship  which  has  charac- 
terized Georgetown's  several  teams  in  the  various  fields 
of  athletics.  Nothing  does  more  to  enhance  the  fair 
name  of  a  College  than  good  fellowship.  Any  unmanly 
act,  any  display  of  illwill,  any  use  of  unfair  means, 
even  though  it  be  on  the  part  of  only  one,  can  do  much 
to  mar  the  reputation  of  an  entire  team.  It  were  better 
to  suffer  an  honorable  defeat  than  to  carry  away  a  tarn- 
ished victory.  It  has  been  highly  gratifying  to  receive 
from  the  various  fields  of  our  athletic  activity  several 
commendations  of  Georgetown's  good  sportmanship. 
Public  recognition  of  this  was  given  by  the  faculty  of 
one  of  the  best-known  and  largest  institutions  of  the 


LETTER   OF  THE   PRESIDENT  11 

South;  in  the  monthly  assembly  of  the  students  and 
faculty,  a  professor  spoke  eloquently  of  the  gentlemanly 
behaviour  of  Georgetown's  football  team  and  thought 
well  to  declare  that  it  was  in  delightful  contrast  to  some 
other  teams  that  had  appeared  there  at  different  seasons. 
Elsewhere,  too,  there  has  been  the  same  favorable  com- 
ment from  students  of  rival  institutions  and  from  the 
presiding  officials  of  the  contests.  Nor  has  the  repre- 
sentative press  been  slow  to  take  notice  of  this.  We 
trust  that  all  our  representatives  in  all  contests,  in 
debates,  as  well  as  in  athletic  events,  will  bear  this  in 
mind  that  the  uncouthness  and  unfairness  of  an  oppon- 
ent must  be  endured  and  no  degredation  of  our  fair 
name  is  to  be  allowed  no  matter  what  the  provocation. 

It  is  then,  gentlemen,  with  pleasure  that  we  present 
this  triennial  report  of  our  extra-curriculum  activities. 
We  trust  that  as  this  venerable  university  is  about  to 
start  upon  the  one  hundred  and  thirty-third  year  of  its 
existence,  the  same  gratifying  results  may  acrue  to  all.

To  the  President  of  Georgetown  University. 

Sir:  As  Librarian  of  the  University,  I  have  the  honor 
to  submit  herewith  a  report  of  the  Riggs  Memorial 
Library  and  Reading  Rooms. 

Whilst  our  Universities  are  developing  their  libraries, 
Georgetown  maintains  its  notable  tradition  for  numbers 
and  for  rare  and  ancient  tomes.  The  primary  care  of 
our  Riggs  Memorial  Library  during  the  last  three  years 
has  been  to  satisfy  the  wants  of  the  professors  of  the 
various  college  courses.  For  this  purpose  the  academic 
fisc  has  been  taxed  whenever  new  publications  became 
vital.  Hence  there  were  increments  in  the  Social 
Sciences,  in  History,  in  Pedagogy,  in  Belles-lettres  and 
in  Biology.  Nor  was  Theology  overlooked  to  which 
some  current  standards  were  added. 

As  there  is  no  endowment  fund,  it  will  readily  appear 
that  our  book  hoard  is  slender  in  works  of  general 
interest:  Biographies,  Travels  and  Classics  in  foreign 
languages.  In  some  sections  we  were  fortunate  in  our 
friends  who  assumed  the  patronage.  Foremost  among 
these  was  the  Rt.  Rev.  Mgr.  James  Joseph  Chittick,  of 
Hyde  Park,  Massachusetts,  who  fostered  our  Fine  Arts. 
He  was  our  Mazarin  under  the  sun  of  whose  liberality 
more  than  one  alcove  blossoms  forth  in  beauty.  The 
more's  the  pity  that  we  did  not  eventually  receive  his 
extensive  library  promised  us  and  augmented  for  our 
benefit  through  some  forty  years — all  for  the  lack  of  a 
will  strangely  neglected,  leaving  his  monument  a 
pathetic  fragment.  The  branch  of  Music  was  supplied 
with  the  latest  publications  by  Miss  Honora  McDonough, 
of  NeW  York.  Poet  and  Scholar  whose  generosity  also 
extended  into  ascetical  as  well  as  secular  fields.  A  large 
and  liberal  gift  of  modern  works  on  Sociology  and 
various  other  subjects  was  contributed  by  the  Rev. 
Lawrence  W.  Slattery,  I.P.P.,  of  Newton,  Massachusetts.

To  Mme.  Mathilde,  the  widow  of  Doctor  Emanuele 
Fronani  of  the  Italian  Embassy,  We  owe  a  debt  of  grati- 
tude for  enriching  us  with  Italian,  French  and  Spanish 
classics.  Among  these  gifts  is  the  History  of  Italian 
Literature  in  twelve  magnificent  quarto  volumes  by  the 
famous  Jesuit  who  figures  on  the  title  page  as  the 
Cavaliere  Abate  Girolamo  Tiraboschi,  the  edition  being 
published  in  Rome  during  the  suppresion  of  the  Society. 
Miss  Agnes  G.  Barrett,  of  Baltimore,  earned  our  well- 
merited  thanks  for  a  collection  of  books  possessed  by 
her  scholarly  father,  among  them  an  album  with  the 
autographs  of  the  Hierarchy  assembled  in  the  Third 
Plenary  Council  of  Baltimore.  Miss  Mary  Susanna 
Miller,  always  a  generous  donor,  provided  us  with  two 
encylopedias,  and  many  ascetical  authors.  Other  ladies 
who  have  contributed  clusters  of  literature,  mostly 
miscellaneous,  are  Mrs.  Lucy  McL.  Malone,  with  some 
seventy  volumes,  and  Miss  Rebecca  O'Donnell,  with 
sixty-four.  Mrs.  Denny  Ellsworth  Dyer  Sp angler,  to 
her  other  benefactions,  added  twenty-five  books.  Mrs. 
Robert  McGinnis,  ten;  and  even  from  the  Home  of 
Incurables,  Miss  Sallie  Anderson  furnished  us  with 
C.  A.  Sainte-Beuve's  History  of  Port-Royal  in  seven 
volumes.  Many  others  have  favored  us  with  single 
books,  which  were  heirlooms  in  their  families  and 
which  they  deemed  useful  to  the  larger  family  of 
scholars.  As  is  well  known,  the  Decaturs  played  a  con- 
spicuous role  in  Georgetown's  last  century.  Accordingly 
we  were  made  the  recipients  of  a  very  minute  Genealogy 
of  the  Decatur  Family,  by  William  Decatur  Parsons,  of 
New  York  City.  By  a  fine  harmony,  our  two  earliest 
incunabula  are  the  gift  of  Washingtonians :  The  Code 
of  Justinian,  1477,  by  Richard  T.  Merrick,  LL.D.,  and 
lately  the  S.  Gregorii  Moralia  in  Job.  1460-1470,  by 
Martin  Conboy,  LL.D.,  now  of  New  York  City.  It  is  now 
on  exhibition  as  our  most  ancient  cradle  volume,  being 
printed  in  Basle,  famous  for  its  presses,  from  the  black 
letter  types  of  Berthold  Roth,  who  was  one  of  the  first 
servants  of  John  Guttenberg,  Another  Alumnus,  Martin 
Sullivan,  '03,  of  Florida,  filled  some  of  our  shelves  with 
some  rare  miscellaneous  literature  and  periodicals. 


THE   LIBRARIES   AND   READING   ROOMS  15 

The  more  than  thirty  million  dollars  deposited  in 
Washington  bv  the  late  Andrew  Carnegie  for  the  diffu- 
sion of  knowledge  otherwise  not  easily  obtained,  and 
for  the  promotion  of  International  Peace  are  bearing 
fruit  in  several  cases  of  publications.  In  the  past  three 
years  forty-six  of  these  illuminating  volumes  have  been 
supplied  by  the  Carnegie  Institution  of  Washington,  and 
by  the  Endowment  for  Peace  eighty-six  volumes  and 
forty-seven  pamphlets.  The  Heye  Foundation  of  the 
Museum  of  the  American  Indian  under  the  editorship 
of  Dr.  F.  W.  Hodge  has  issued  to  us  nine  volumes  which 
besides  their  archeological  value  are  specimens  of 
elegant,  not  to  say  dainty,  typography.  The  Illinois 
State  Historical  Society,  under  the  able  direction  of 
Mrs.  Jesse  Palmer  Weber,  its  Secretary-Treasurer,  is 
showing  its  activities  in  a  series  of  Journals.  So  too  is 
the  American  Irish  Historical  Society  by  its  several 
annual  volumes.  Nor  were  We  forgotten  by  the  League 
of  the  Red  Cross.  For  many  years  the  British  Royal 
Society  of  Arts  and  the  Royal  Society  of  Canada  have 
shared  with  us  the  wealth  of  the  erudition  of  these 
countries  in  their  Journals  which  lengthen  our  rows. 
Up  to  the  Treaty  the  Department  of  Agriculture  and 
Technical  Instruction  for  Ireland  kept  us  informed  of 
the  energetic  steps  taken  for  the  material  progress  of 
that  country.  Italy  exhibits  to  us  the  fertility  of  its 
presses  in  the  monthly  Bollettino  of  its  central  library 
in  Florence.  We  had  quite  a  windfall  when  the  German 
Central  Verein  distributed  its  library  in  St.  Louis. 
Among  the  several  hundred  volumes  thus  obtained,  are 
nuggets  for  our  lynx-eyed  workers  in  literary  research. 

Our  sister  Universities  treat  us  with  liberality  in  pro- 
viding us  With  their  publications,  bulletins  and  reports. 
Foremost  among  these  is  the  University  of  the  State  of 
New  York  with  its  educational  surveys,  its  Museum 
Bulletin  often  richly  illustrated  and  its  Library,  which 
shows  up-to-date  vitality.  The  Bulletins  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Texas  rival  the  size  of  the  State  and  cover  most 
of  the  field  of  learning.  In  the  Dissertations  of  the  can- 
didates for  the  Doctor's  degree  contributed  by  Bryn 
Mawr,  our  American  scholars  rank  with  the  erudite 
women  who  publish  their  studies  in  the  Viennese  series

of  English  Philology.  The  General  Library  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan  through  its  progressive  chief,  Mr. 
William  Warren  Bishop,  communicates  its  share  of 
Ph.D.  disserations  and  other  publications.  From  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania  came  an  accession  of  theses 
and  pamphlets  in  many  branches  of  science.  Latin 
America  is  amassing  literature  in  our  alcoves  with  the 
Anales  de  la  Universidad  de  Chile,  Buenos  Aires,  La 
Plata,  the  Bevista  from  Havana,  and  lately  the  first 
number  of  the  Boletin  de  la  Universidad  Nacional  de 
Mexico,  with  its  Spanish  translation  of  the  Antigone 
from  the  original  Greek.  Even  during  the  clash  of  arms 
of  the  revolution,  Mexico  produced  a  trophy  of  peace 
in  the  folio  Anales  del  Instituto  Geologico.  The  pro- 
fessors of  the  department  of  Medicine  in  the  Univer- 
sities of  Japan  in  Tokyo,  Kioto,  Sendai  and  Tohoku 
kept  us  informed  of  the  latest  results  of  their  researches, 
doing  this  in  the  German  language  even  during  the 
World  War. 

Our  great  financial  and  industrial  corporations  esti- 
mating the  favorable  opinion  and  good  will  of  our 
professors  in  sociology,  load  our  tables  with  what  we 
might  consider  apologetic  pamphlets  to  rebut  the 
charges  made  against  them  by  socialistic  publicists.  By 
the  carefully  issued  acknowledgment  cards  of  our 
Librarian,  this  mass  of  information  continues  to  be 
regularly  supplied.  The  sometimes  underrated  Govern- 
ment documents  are  duly  appreciated  by  our  students, 
and  the  names  of  Senator  Henry  F.  Ashurst,  who  has 
our  Georgetown  degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws,  and  Bepre- 
sentative  Sidney  E.  Mudd,  our  alumnus,  are  honored 
for  providing  us  with  these  publications.  The  Congres- 
sional Becord  proves  a  mine  for  debates  and  for  the 
political  speeches  and  state  papers  inserted  by  request 
of  our  legislators,  and  so  presenting  us  as  they  do,  our 
ablest  and  most  eloquent  extra-congressional  orators 
and  publicists.  The  Federal  Scientific  Departments, 
such  as  the  Smithsonian  Institution,  the  United  States 
National  Museum,  the  Bureau  of  American  Ethnology 
and  of  Standards,  the  Geodetic  with  its  topographic 
charts,  the  fertile  Agricultural  with  its  never-failing 
crop  of  bulletins,  the  Bureau  of  the  Census  broaden  the

horizon  of  knowledge  and  whilst  they  instruct,  also 
awaken  the  patriotic  pride  of  our  readers  in  the  country 
whose  resourses  they  display. 

On  our  roll  of  honor  we  feel  that  we  must  inscribe  the 
names  of  individual  donors.  However,  not  all  of  our 
benefactors  during  the  past  three  years  who  have 
earned  and  herewith  are  tendered  the  meed  of  our 
fervent  gratitude,  are  here  recorded  as  the  boundaries 
of  this  report  are  necessarily  limited.  They  will  not 
take  this  amiss  as  we  shall  be  happy  to  recognize  them 
if  desired  in  a  future  publication.  All,  whether  in 
classes  and  groups  or  in  particular  instance,  are  assured 
of  the  perennial  thanks  of  the  Faculties  and  Students

Miss  Eleanor  Sherman  Fitch  besides  presenting  us  with

Bouquet  holder  carried  by  her  mother  at  her  brilliant 
marriage  at  St.  Aloysius  Church.  Other  articles  are :  A

our  Patron  and  Benefactor,  Justice  Martin  F.  Morris.

are  the  contribution  of  Mrs.  Bobert  McGinnis,  of  New 
York. 

Our  Professors  come  and  go,  but  the  Teaching  Staff 
of  the  Library,  as  it  might  be  styled,  remains  forever; 
some  of  our  books  from  Bohemia  Manor  dating  back 
four  centuries.  The  more  it  is  recruited  as  new  needs 
develop  in  the  Arts  and  Sciences,  the  higher  will  be  the 
efficiency  and  renown  of  Georgetown.  Hence  we  hope 
that  at  the  proposed  sumptuous  Endowment  Banquet,  it 
will  be  an  honored  and  satisfied  guest  for  years.  Since 
the  elevation  of  a  Librarian  to  the  Pontifical  Throne, 
our  own  Librarian  swells  with  professional  pride  which 
ought  to  be  supported  and  encouraged  with  the  liberal 
purse  of  our  Patrons.

To  the  President  of  the  University. 

Sir*  As  Chief  Sesismologist  of  Georgetown  Univer- 
sity, I  beg  to  submit  this  brief  report  of  The  Seismologi- 
cal Observatory. 

The  Seismological  Observatory,  founded  in  1911,  is 
located  in  part  beneath  the  quadrangle,  in  part  on  obser- 
vatory hill.  A  co-operative  station  is  also  in  operation  in 
Guatemala  city,  Guatemala,  and  is  in  charge  of  Senor 
Claudio  Urrutia,  consulting  engineer  of  the  Guatemalan 
Government.  The  equipment  of  these  stations  consists 
of  an  astatic  horizontal  seismograph  after  Wiechert, 
carrying  a  stationary  mass  of  200  kilos,  a  vertical  seis- 
mograph of  the  same  type  of  80  kilos,  two  Bosch-Omori 
pendulums  of  25  kilos  mass,  two  conical  pendulums 
after  Dr.  Mainka,  130  kilos  mass,  and  a  Bosch  photo- 
graphic instrument  of  200  grams  mass.  Five  contact 
clocks  complete  the  equipment.  There  is  now  in  pro- 
cess of  construction  a  vertical  seismograph  after 
Galitzin,  which  it  is  hoped  will  be  installed  within  the 
next  four  months. 

During  the  past  three  years  the  observatory  has  sent 
out  to  about  150  observatories  monthly  reports  of  all 
grams  recorded  at  this  station  and  also  of  dispatches  re- 
ceived through  the  several  press  agencies.  There  has 
also  been  published  yearly  a  bulletin  giving  the  history 
of  the  observatory  and  a  detailed  account  of  all  seismic 
activities  of  the  year. 

Several  articles  have  been  published  by  the  director 
which  have  appeared  in  the  leading  seismological 
journals  of  the  world.

To  the  President  of  the  University. 

Sir:  As  chairman  of  the  Georgetown  University 
Lecture  Service  I  have  the  honor  to  present  the  triennial 
report  from  September  1919  to  June  1922. 

Never  in  the  history  of  this  University  has  there  been 
greater  progress  made  in  the  Lecture  Service  than  dur- 
ing the  three  years  that  have  just  elapsed.  The  faculty 
most  frequently  have  been  called  upon  to  give  lectures 
in  near  and  distant  parts  of  the  country;  the  students  of 
all  departments  have  had  splendid  opportunities  to  hear 
experts  in  many  fields;  the  Alumni  and  friends  of  the 
University  have  had  every  facility  to  enjoy  our  lecture 
resourses  both  in  the  University  halls  and  in  the  city 
of  Washington.  The  following  list  of  lectures  given  will 
amply  attest  to  this  fact.

THE  LECTURE  SERVICE  35 

During  the  months,  December  1921  and  January  1922, 
a  series  of  lectures  commemorative  of  the  sixth  centen- 
ary of  Dante  were  given  on  Monday  afternoons,  the 
subject  being,  "The  Divine  Comedy."  There 
Monday  was  an  introductory  lecture  by  Mark  J.  Mc- 
Lectures  Neal,  A.B.,  '93,  Litt.D.  The  Dean  of  the 
Graduate  School  gave  four  beautifully 
illustrated  lectures,  "The  Greatest  Christian  Poem," 
"The  Journey  Through  the  Home  of  Despair,"  "The 
Journey  Through  the  Land  of  Hope"  "The  Journey 
Through  the  Home  of  Everlasting  Happiness;"  the  con- 
cluding lecture  was  by  Dr.  Conde  Benoist  Pallen. 
Great  appreciation  of  the  series  was  expressed  by  the 
Alumni  and  friends  of  Georgetown.  The  attendance 
was  most  gratifying.  It  was  suggested  that  there  could 
be  inaugurated  "The  Georgetown  Monday  Lectures," 
to  be  given  in  the  afternoons  and  and  special  invitations 
be  sent  to  our  Alumni  and  friends  in  the  District.  We 
are  pleased  to  record  that  from  the  very  start  it  was 
seen  that  the  Monday  Lectures  should  become  a  perma- 
nent institution  of  this  venerable  university.  Hence, 
during  Lent  the  following  illustrated  lectures  were  given 
in  Gaston  Hall :

THE  MISSING  LINK.    By  John  Patrick  Meagher,  S.J. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  President  and  Directors  of  George- 
town College  held  January,  1922,  it  was  decided  that 
among  the  publications  of   the  University  should  be 

included  the  Georgetown  University  Lee- 
Georgetown  ture  Service.  As  many  of  the  professors 
University  and  assistant  professors  at  the  College 
Lecture  and  the  professional  schools  have  at  var- 

Service  ious  times  delivered  public  lectures  at  the 

University  and  elsewhere,  and  have  had 
every  reason  to  feel  that  the  time  spent  in  preparation 
and  the  energy  expended  in  delivery  have  rendered 
service  to  the  cause  of  higher  education  and  have  more- 
over provided  entertainment  that  is  pleasing  as  well  as 
cultural,  it  has  been  deemed  proper  to  establish  at  the 
University  a  Lecture  Service  whereby  available  lectures 
of  the  Faculty  and  the  Alumni  may  be  better  known  and 
arrangements  for  their  delivery  may  be  facilitated 
through  a  convenient  agency.  It  is  the  purpose  of  the 
University  to  publish  annually  a  booklet  giving  sufficient 
details  of  lectures  whether  individual  or  serial,  which 
are  available  for  the  current  year.  While  some  of  these 
lectures  will  be  given  at  the  University,  arrangements 
can  be  made,  through  the  Chairman  of  the  Lecture  Serv- 
ice, for  the  lectures  to  be  given  at  other  institutions,  at 
meetings  of  societies,  or  at  occasional  gatherings  in 
Washington  or  elsewhere.  The  Lecture  Service  pub- 
lished January,  1922,  embraced  over  a  hundred  lectures 
on  the  following  subjects:  Philosophy  and  Religion, 
Literature,  Science,  Biography  and  History,  Education, 
Sociology  and  Political  Science,  Art  and  Travel. 

A  detailed  outline  of  each  lecture  is  given;  there  is 
also  a  Who's  Who  and  an  exhaustive  general  index. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

July  1, 1922.  W.  Coleman  Nevils,  Chairman. 


®l|p  Abating  BatuiuB 


To  the  President  of  the  University. 

Sir :  I  have  the  honor  to  present  the  triennial  report 
of  the  activities  of  the  debating  societies  of  Georgetown 
University. 

During  the  past  three  years  not  only  has  the  long 

standing  tradition  of  enthusiasm  for  de- 
The  Debating  bating  been  preserved  at  Georgetown 
Societies  but   the   field  has  been  enlarged   and 

four  debating  societies  are  thriving  in 
the  Arts  and  Science  Department.  The  membership  of 
each  of  these  societies  is  limited  and  at  the  close  of  the 
scholastic  year  there  was  a  waiting  list  of  aspirants. 
Never  in  the  history  of  the  University  was  greater  inter- 
est shown  among  the  students;  they  have  received  great 
encouragement  because  of  remarkable  successes  in  the 
inter-collegiate  debates. 

The  pioneer  Debating  Society,  The  Philodemic,  found- 
ed in  1830,  has  never  been  in  a  more  flourishing  condi- 
tion and  it  continues  its  usual  activities  in  the  inter- 
collegiate field.  The  Philonomosian  Society,  which  was 
founded  in  1839,  had  been  transferred  to 
Four  the  Preparatory  School  in  1910.    Upon  the 

Debating  removel  of  that  school  from  Washington  to 
Societies  Garrett  Park,  the  Philonomosian  Society 
was  returned  to  the  College  and  in  Febru- 
ary, 1921,  was  completely  reorganized.  A  few  necessary 
changes  were  made  through  amendments  to  the  old 
constitution.  It  has  enjoyed  the  greatest  enthusiasm 
among  the  students  and  gives  promise  of  splendid  serv- 
ice. The  purpose  of  the  Edward  Douglas  White  Society, 
founded  1912,  and  of  the  Gaston  Debating  Society, 
founded  1913,  is  to  prepare  the  freshmen  and  sopho- 
mores for  the  senior  debating  societies.  Meetings  are 
held  weekly  in  the  Philodemic  Hall  where  chosen  mem- 

37 


38  GEORGETOWN   UNIVERSITY 

bers  are  to  appear  in  a  carefully  prepared  debate.  After 
the  close  of  the  regular  debate  the  question  is  given  to 
the  house  that  all,  the  members  may  participate  in  an 
ex-tempore  debate.  A  vote  is  taken  to  decide  the  merits 
of  the  debaters  and  a  decision  is  given  as  to  the  best 
speaker  of  the  evening.  The  faculty  representative  then 
points  out  the  virtues  and  defects  of  the  debaters.  An 
inter-society  debate  takes  place  each  spring  in  Gaston 
Hall  to  which  the  public  are  invited.  The  Gaston 
Society  thus  far  has  been  victorious  in  all  the  contests 
held.  The  White  Society  has  not  in  the  slightest  been 
daunted  by  this  and  each  succeeding  year  finds  its  mem- 
bers all  the  more  eager  for  the  first  victory  over  the 
Gaston. 

In  the  academic  year,  1921-1922,  two  new  features 
were  inaugurated  by  the  Philonomosian  Society.  The 
Society  adopted  the  rule  of  an  open  forum  at  the  close 
Pfoilo-  °^   eacn    debate   in   which    the   individual 

members  were  at  liberty  to  speak  on  any 
„     .  current  vital  topic.     Ihis  plan  was  success- 

ful and  was  found  to  develop  more  enthu- 
siasm to  debate  than  the  majority-picked  topics  of  the 
weekly  debates.  Though  the  presence  of  the  members 
was  not  of  obligation  during  the  open  forum,  over 
75  per  cent,  usually  remained  for  the  major  time  of  the 
discussion. 

Toward  the  close  of  the  school  year  the  Society  inaug- 
urated its  Lecture  Bureau.  The  Bureau  forms  lecture 
clubs  or  teams  to  address  societies  or  gatherings  outside 
of  the  University  on  economic  and  sociologi- 
Lecture  cal  topics  and  political  principles.  On  these 
Bureau  clubs,  two  or  three  men  divide  the  ordinary 
forty-five  minute  or  hour  individual  address 
into  two  or  three  parts.  This  innovation  was  received 
by  the  College  and  its  Alumni  and  Friends  with  acclaim 
— one  of  the  most  notable  acts  of  approval  being  a  letter 
from  the  Most  Beverend  Michael  J.  Curley,  D.D.,  Arch- 
bishop of  Baltimore,  in  which  he  praised  the  educational 
value  of  the  Bureau. 

Due  to  a  late  start  the  Lecture  Bureau  was  able  to 
send  out  but  one  lecture  team  in  the  first  school  year. 


THE   DEBATING    SOCIETIES  39 

This  team,  consisting  of  Messrs.  Frank  T.  O'Connor, 
Esmond  Murphy  and  James  J.  Kirwin,  Jr.,  lectured  on 
the  "Living  Wage"  at  the  Knights  of  Columbus  Hall  in 
Washington,  May  22,  under  the  patronage  of  the 
Potomac  Council,  K.  of  C,  and  later  on  June  6  to  the 
members  of  Carroll  Council,  K.  of  C. 

To  insure  the  success  of  the  Lecture  Bureau  during 
the  coming  year  the  members  of  the  Philonomosian 
Society  already  are  laboring  on  several  lecture  subjects. 
Amongst  those  in  preparation  are: 

1.  A  Literary  Lecture. 

2.  The  Constitution. 

3.  The  Philosophy  of  the  Newspaper  and  Popular 
Literature. 

4.  Discontent  in  America. 

Most  of  these  lectures  will  be  ready  for  public  delivery 
shortly  after  the  opening  of  the  fall  semester,  1922. 

The  Philodemic  Society  was  organized  September  25, 
1830.  It  is  generally  supposed  to  be  the  oldest  debating 
society  in   the   United  States.     The  Merrick  Debating 

Medal  was  funded  by  Richard  T.  Merrick, 
The  LL.D.,    73.      The    Hamilton    Philodemic 

Philodemic  Medal  is  awarded  for  the  best  ex  tempore 
Society  debate.      The    medal    was    founded    by 

George  E.  Hamilton,  LL.D.,  Dean,  George- 
town University  Law  School.  On  Sunday  evening,  Feb- 
ruary 15,  1920,  the  annual  Merrick  debate  was  held  in 
Gaston  Hall.  The  Merrick  Medal  was  awarded  to 
Robert  J.  Riley,  '20,  West  Virginia.  The  question  was, 
Resolved: — That  the  ammendment  to  the  Immigration 
Bill,  propsed  by  Senator  Phelan  for  the  exclusion  of  the 
Japanese,  should  be  adopted.  The  affirmative,  Robert 
J.  Riley  and  James  C.  McCann.  The  negative, 
Thomas  A.  Dean  and  Paul  de  W.  Page.  The  Ham- 
ilton ex  tempore  debate  of  the  Philodemic  Society  was 
held  in  Gaston  Hall  Sunday,  May  9, 1920.  The  George  E. 
Hamilton  Medal  was  awarded  to  Robert  J.  Riley,  '20, 
West  Virginia.  The  question  was,  Resolved: — That  im- 
igration  into  the  United  States  should  be  prohibited  for 
a  period  of  ten  years.  Affirmative,  John  S.  McCann, 
Robert  W.  Wimsatt  and  Robert  J.  Riley.    The  negative,

ton Hall  the  annual  Merrick  Debate  for  the  Merrick 
Medal  was  held  under  the  auspices  of  the  Philodemic 
Society.  The  question  was,  Resolved: — That  all  indus- 
trial disputes  should  be  settled  by  compulsory  arbitra-

Gaston  Hall. 

In  the  inter-collegiate  and  inter-university  debates 
during  the  past  three  years  the  Philodemic  Society  of 
Georgetown  has  met  one  team  from  Colum- 
Six  Inter-  bia,  one  from  Princeton,  three  from  Laf ay- 
Collegiate  ette  and  two  from  Yale.  In  all  there  were 
Victories  seven  inter-collegiate  contests  and  in  all, 
except  one  debate  with  Lafayette,  George- 
town  was   victorious.     Columbia   University   was   de-

feated  by  Georgetown  in  the  first  intercollegiate  debate 
of  the  academic  year,  1919-1920.  The  debate  was  con- 
ducted in  Gaston  Hall  before  a  large  and  most  appre- 
ciative audience.  The  Georgetown  debaters  upheld  the 
negative  side  of  the  question,  Resolved: — That  the 
Plumb  Plan  should  be  adopted  as  a  solution  of  the 
railroad  problem.  The  decision  of  the  judges  was  unan- 
imous in  favor  of  Georgetown.  On  April  23,  1920,  the 
question,  Resolved: — That  labor  through  representa- 
tives of  its  own  choice  should  share  in  the  management 
of  corporate  industry,  was  debated  with  Lafayette  Col- 
lege. Georgetown  defeated  the  affirmative  and  was 
again  victorious. 

On  March  3,  1921,  Yale  University  was  defeated  by 
Georgetown  on  the  question,  Resolved: — That  the  em- 
ployers of  the  United  States  should  abandon  the  prin- 
ciple of  the  open  shop.  Georgetown  sustained  the  neg- 
ative side  and  won  a  unanimous  decision.     The  very 

same  week,  March  5,  1921,  on  the  same 
Victories  question,   but    defending   the   opposite

and  Princeton   The  versatility  of  our  debaters  and  their 

allround  grasp  of  the  momentous  ques- 
tion was  commended  by  all  who  attended  the  debates. 
A  most  courteous  letter  of  congratulation  was  received 
from  Yale. 

Lafayette  and  Georgetown  defended  both  sides  of  the 
question,  Resolved: — That  the  use  of  the  injunction 
should  be  abolished  in  labor  disputes,  on  Friday,  April 
8,  1921.  Georgetown's  affirmative  team  won  by  a  vote 
of  4  to  1.  The  negative  team  was  defeated  by  a  decision 
of  2  to  1. 

A  most  interesting  debate  between  Yale  and  George- 
town was  held  in  Gaston  Hall,  Saturday,  March  18, 1922. 
The  question  was,  Resolved: — That  the  United  States 
in  joint  action  with  England,  France  and  Japan,  should 
recognize  the  Soviet  Government  of  Russia.  Affirma- 
tive, Yale.  The  decision  of  the  judges  was  4  to  1  in 
favor  of  the  negative  side,  which  was  supported  by 
Georgetown.

Several  other  Universities  were  invited  to  debate 
Georgetown,  but  only  those  mentioned  above  cared  to 
accept.  It  is  our  plan  to  continue  this  useful  exercise 
and  it  is  hoped  that  still  more  colleges  will  be  willing 
to  compete  with  our  debating  societies.

To  the  President  of  the  University. 

Sir :  I  have  the  honor  to  present  a  brief  report  of  the 
activities  of  the  Dramatic  Societies  of  Georgetown  Uni- 
versity from  September,  1919,  to  June,  1922. 

During  the  World  War  the  usual  dramatic  exercises 
so  traditional  in  this  venerable  university  were  almost 
entirely  suspended.    At  the  beginning  of  the  scholastic 

year,  1919-1920,  the  oldest  dramatic 
The  Mask  and  society  of  the  College  was  completely 
Bauble  Club       reorgainzed.    A  new  name  was  adopted 

and  henceforth  the  society  was  to 
known  as  "The  Mask  and  Bauble  Club."  It  was  felt  that 
this  designation  would  clearly  indicate  that  the  society 
would  embrace  both  tragedy  and  comedy.  An  entirely 
new  constitution  was  written  and  accepted  with  the 
hope  that  dramatics  would  thrive  with  the  old  time 
vigor  under  this  reorganization. 

The  year  1920  saw  an  unusual  performance  in  the 
field  of  College  dramatics.  A  single  section  of  the 
Freshman  class,  under  the  direction  of  their  able  pro- 
fessor of  English  Literature,  produced  the  entire  play 
of  Twelfth  Night  in  a  most  creditable  manner. 
Twelfth  All  the  characters  were  chosen  from  the  class 
Night  and  the  complete  management  and  financing 
of  the  performance  was  assumed  by  the  mem- 
bers of  the  section.  The  incidental  music,  which  was 
most  attractively  suited  to  the  various  scenes,  was  origi- 
nal and  the  stage  effects  and  properties  were  due  to 
the  remarkable  skill  of  the  students.  Highest  commen- 
dation was  received  from  all  present  and  some  critics 
of  note  pronounced  the  feat  quite  unique  in  the  annals 
of  a  college. 

On  a  much  larger  scale  in  1921-1922  the  Mask  and 
Bauble    Club    undertook    the    production    of    "Julius 

43 


44  GEORGETOWN   UNIVERSITY 

Caesar."  It  was  discovered  that  one  hundred  years 
before  parts  of  the  same  play  had  been  rendered  by 
the  students  of  Georgetown  in  1821.  As  the  main  idea 
of  the  Mask  and  Bauble  Club  is  the  develop- 
Julius  ment  of  dramatic  talent  in  as  many  as  possible 
Caesar  and  as  it  has  for  its  object  the  performance  of 
plays  of  highest  literary  merit,  it  was  felt  that 
there  could  be  no  better  selection  for  the  annual  produc- 
tion than  Shakespeare's  great  Roman  tragedy.  Two 
performances  were  given  in  Gonzaga  Hall.  The  cast 
was  chosen  from  the  four  College  classes  and  over 
ninty  participated.  While  those  who  sustained  the  prin- 
cipal parts  did  remarkably  well,  it  was  rather  in  the 
extraordinary  acting  of  the  Roman  mob  that  the  play 
excelled.  As  great  enthusiasm  was  stirred  by  the  perfor- 
mance it  is  felt  that  the  Mask  and  Bauble  Club  is  quite 
assured  of  success. 

During  the  month  of  February  at  the  Foreign  Service 
School  two  Hindu  plays  were  presented  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Society  for  the  Union  of  the  East  and  the 
West.  The  plays  were  presented  in  an 
Hindu  English  translation  under  the  leadership  of 
Dramas  Das  Gupta  and  Robert  A.  Sparks.  The  first 
was  a  romatic  comedy,  "The  Maharam  of 
Arakam;"  the  second  was  a  light  tragedy,  "Santri,  or 
Love  Conquers  Death."  The  two  styles  of  Hindu  Were 
much  enjoyed  by  those  who  had  the  privilege  of  attend- 
ing. 

A  new  interest  has  been  shown  in  the  study  of 
Shakespeare  during  the  past  two  years.  By  the  munifi- 
cent bequest  of  our  late  William  F.  Quicksall,  AB.  '61, 
AM.  72,  LL.B.  72,  there  is  to  be  awarded  annually  a 

hundred  dollar  gold  medal  to  the  stu- 
The  Quicksall  dent  of  the  Arts  department  who  passes 
Shakespeare  the  best  oral  examination  in  three  plays 
Medal  of  Shakespeare  selected  by  the  Dean. 

Up  to  the  present  these  examinations 
have  been  held  privately  under  the  exclusive  scrutiny 
of  three  Shakespearean  scholars.  It  is  proposed  that  an 
elimination  contest  take  place  earlier  in  the  year  and 
that  from  this  examination  three  contestants  be  chosen 


THE  DRAMATIC   SOCIETIES  45 

to  appear  in  Gaston  Hall  for  a  public  specimen.  Rep- 
resentatives of  the  Washington  Shakespeare  Society  will 
be  iDvited  to  preside.  It  is  planned  to  have  appropriate 
songs  sung  from  the  plays  of  Shakespeare  between  the 
contests  and  that  while  the  judges  are  absent  for  delib- 
eration steriopticon  views  of  the  dramas  be  portrayed 
on  the  screen.  The  entire  program  will  give  a  com- 
prehensive appreciation  of  the  plays,  and  afford  a 
pleasant  and  profitable  evening  for  all. 

Respectfully   submitted,

To  the  President  of  Georgetown  University. 

Sir:  I  have  the  honor  to  submit  herewith  the  report 
on  the  activities  of  the  musical  clubs  at  Georgetown 
University  during  the  past  three  years. 

While  a  general  review  of  the  past  is  very  gratifying 
in  view  of  the  initiative  and  co-operation  thus  far  dis- 
played, the  hope  is  entertained  that  the  advance  of  the 
next  three  years  will  give  even  greater  satisfac- 
Glee  tion,  as  the  field  of  musical  activity  is  extensive 
Club  and  the  prospects  most  encouraging. 

The  War,  which  established  the  Students'  Army 
Training  Corps  at  Georgetown  put  an  end  to  many 
activities,  among  them  the  Glee  Club.  But  in  Septem- 
ber, 1919,  the  Club  was  completely  reorganized.  The 
usual  Mi-Careme  Concert  was  advanced  to  the  Tuesday 
before  the  Christmas  Holidays.  On  that  night,  a  well- 
balanced  programme  was  rendered  by  the  Glee  Club 
and  the  orchestra  assisted  by  two  soloists — singers  of 
some  repute  in  the  City.  The  orchestra  played  upon  sev- 
eral academic  occasions  during  the  school  year. 

Since  the  reorganization  of  both  the  Glee  Club  and 
Orchestra,  the  principal  event  of  the  year  has  been  the 
Mi-Careme  Concert.     These  past  two  years  the  Clubs 

have  been  so  fortunate  as  to  secure  the 
Mr.  George  services  of  Mr.  George  O'Connor  and  his 
O'Connor  accompanist,  Mr.  Martin  E.  Home,  LL.B., 

'15,  as  the  chief  attraction  of  their  pro- 
gramme. Mr.  O'Connor  is  an  entertainer  of  high  repute 
in  the  city,  and  his  services  are  constantly  in  demand. 
In  spite  of  this  fact  Mr.  O'Connor  has  always  freely  and 
gladly  given  his  services  to  his  Alma  Mater  whenever  a 
request  has  been  made.  His  popularity  is  boundless, 
for  at  every  performance  he  can  never  satisfy  them  with 
less  than  five  or  six  selections.  Mr.  O'Connor  has  also 
afforded  enjoyment  each  year  to  the  alumni  and  their 

47 


48  GEORGETOWN   UNIVERSITY 

friends,  who  attend  in  such  great  numbers  the  informal 
concert  in  the  Quadrangle  during  Commencement 
Week. 

The  Glee  Club  has  also  participated  in  various  exer- 
cises of  the  annual  Commencements.  At  the  Baccalau- 
rate  Mass,  usually  celebrated  in  the  Dahlgren  Chapel  on 

the  Sunday  preceeding  the  Commence- 
Baccalaureate  ment,  those  seniors  who  are  members 
Exercises  of  the  Glee  Club,  form  the  nucleus  of 

the  Senior  Choir,  that  assists  in  singing 
the  Mass.  Their  renditions  of  the  Sacred  Music  have 
been  quite  pleasing,  and  their  presence  has  lent  an  ap- 
propriate background  for  this  inspiring  collegiate  cere- 
mony. 

The  activities  of  both  Glee  Club  and  Orchestra  have 
been  confined,  for  the  most  part,  to  Gaston  Hall 
within  the  college  walls.  However,  during  the  past 
year  they  have  received  many  invitations  to  appear  at 
various  functions  in  the  city.  A  concert  was  given  for 
the  soldiers  at  Walter  Reed  Hospital  on  April  2  and  at 
Mount  Alto  Hospital  on  April  11.  On  April 
Glee  Club  27  the  Glee  Club  rendered  several  of  their 
Concerts  numbers  before  the  members  of  the  City 
Outside  Club.  On  all  of  these  occasions  the  students 
College  were  most  hospitably  entertained  by  their 
hosts,  and  their  efforts  were  appreciated 
and  highly  praised.  In  this  connection  it  might  be  well 
to  stress  the  need  of  these  outside  appearances  of  the 
organiations,  as  they  act  as  a  great  inducement  to  the 
students  to  join  the  clubs,  and  as  a  stimulus  to  increas- 
ing interest  as  the  year  progresses.  There  have  been 
too  few  of  these  activities  during  the  last  three  years  to 
keep  up  the  proper  interest  in  both  Glee  Clubs.  Several 
of  the  alumni  in  this  city  and  in  neighboring  cities  might 
take  an  interest  in  the  welfare  of  the  Musical  Clubs,  and 
make  some  endeavors  to  have  them  secure  their  services 
for  performances  outside  the  college.  It  is  quite  true 
that  during  the  past  year  many  more  outside  perform- 
ances could  have  been  given  towards  the  close  of  the 
year,  but  it  Was  feared  that  they  would  interfere  with 


THE   MUSICAL   CLUBS  49 

the  more  important  scholastic  pursuits,  so   the  offers 
were  declined. 

With  a  view  to  a  more  universal  participation  in 
musical  activities,  courses  in  the  appreciation  of  music 
were  instituted  at  the  college  during  the  past  few  years 
The  entire  ground  of  musical  appreciation  is  covered 
very  thoroughly,  and  in  a  manner  that  is  most  interest- 
ing to  the  student.  Music  Forms,  Vocal 
Courses  in  Forms,  The  Content  of  Music,  are  treated 
Music  at  in  the  first  part  of  the  course.  In  the 
College  second  part  the  performance  of  music,  both 
vocal  and  instrumental  is  discussed.  It  is 
to  be  hoped  that  as  time  goes  on  these  courses  can  be 
extended. 

It  is  fitting  in  this  review  of  musical  activities  to  men- 
tion the  improvement  in  the  Chapel  Organ.  Since  his 
Freshman  year,  James  O'Donnell  Hanlon,  of  the  Class 
of  '22  has  been  the  college  organist  He 
Chapel  showed  his  interest  in  the  instrument  in  a 
Organ  practical  way,  by  having  a  motor  installed  in 
the  basement  of  the  Chapel,  so  that  now  the 
organ  is  no  longer  dependent  upon  the  ancient  man- 
power method  of  keeping  the  bellows  filled. 

Owing  to  the  fact  that  the  time  of  rehearsals  usually 
conflicts  with  the  classes  at  the  professional  schools,  the 
students  of  these  schools  have  not  been  able  to  partici- 
.  pate  in  the  musical  activities  herein  chron- 

icled. However,  at  the  Prize  Debates  of  the 
Law  School,  during  the  year  an  orchestra, 
under  the  direction  of  Thomas  J.  Enright  and  a  quar- 
tette, made  their  appearance  and  entertained  the  audi- 
ence during  the  course  of  the  debates.  Their  efforts 
were  well  received,  and  it  is  hoped  that  these  organiza- 
tions may  become  permanent,  and  if  possible  effect  a 
juncture  with  the  clubs  at  the  college. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

John  Edwards  Grattan.

To  the  President  of  the  University. 

Sir:  I  submit  herewith  my  report  on  the  work  of  the 
Student  Publications  for  the  years  1919-1922. 

The  month  of  March,  1919,  saw  the  appearance  of  the 
first  number  of  the  Hilltopper  which,  fro  mthe  smallest 
college  weekly  in  the  United  States,  has  grown  under 
its  new  name  the  "Hoya"  into  one  of  the  largest  and  best 
edited  papers  in  the  collegiate  world.  The  Hoya  in  cov- 
ering the  purely  journalistic  field  in  the  Uni- 
The  versity  has  answered  a  real  need,  and  its  three 

Journal  years  of  splendid  service  has  more  than  justi- 
fied the  initiation  of  this  new  enterprise  in  our 
student  publications.  As  was  natural,  however,  in  the 
beginning  the  new  paper  was  looked  upon  by  some  as 
an  intruder  upon  the  domain  of  the  Journal  which  had 
carried  on  with  such  success  for  nearly  fifty  years  and 
had  gathered  about  it  many  friends  and  a  rich  tradition 
of  Georgetown  literary  life.  During  the  last  two  years 
it  has  grown  increasingly  clear  that  the  Hoya  has  done 
the  Journal  a  great  benefit  by  releasing  it  from  the  em- 
barassment  of  being  (what  a  monthly  can  scarcely  hope 
to  be)  a  news  organ,  and  consequently  has  made  it  pos- 
sible for  the  Journal  to  realize  more  clearly  and  pursue 
more  effectively  its  ideal  of  being  the  purely  literary 
organ  of  the  College  student  body. 

Some  confusion  of  aims,  if  not  in  theory  at  least  in 
practice  were  inevitable  upon  the  initiation  of  a  new 
Weekly.  Consequent  upon  the  confusion  of  aims  it  was 
likewise  inevitable  that  the  older  publication  should 
suffer  eclipse  by  the  novelty  of  the  weekly.  But  what 
loss  there  was  has  been  more  than  compensated  for  by 
the  definition  of  the  object  of  the  Journal.  More  and 
more  such  students  as  are  interested  not  so  much  in 
newspaper  work  as  in  the  more  permanent  and  purely 
literary  forms  of  writing  are  being  attracted  to  the 
Journal  with  the  result  that  we  can  confidently  feel  that 

51 


52  GEORGETOWN   UNIVERSITY 

the  work  of  its  second  half  century  of  existence  will  be, 
at  the  least,  not  less  worthy  of  Georgetown  than  was  the 
splendid  achievement  of  the  first. 

During  the  past  three  years,  as  part  of  the  program 
to  make  the  Journal  the  central  organ  of  literary  life  of 
the  college  the  members  of  the  staff  of  editors  have  been 
closely  associated  with  the  literary  movements  in  the 
student  body.  Last  year  saw  the  foundation  of  a  very 
interesting  experiment  in  the  bi-monthly  meetings  of 
the  Rhymers  Club  for  informal  discussion  of  the  newer 
movements  in  American  and  English  poetry.  Members 
of  this  club  have  contributed  articles  on  the  Neo  Litera- 
ture (some  three  hundred  books  came  under  review) 
which  have  aroused  considerable  interest  both  within 
and  outside  the  college.  Our  verse  writers,  too,  have 
been  accorded  generous  space  in  the  College  Verse 
Authologies. 

The  Journal  has  during  the  past  three  years  in  pursu- 
ance of  an  old  custom  published  such  essays,  stories  and 
verse  as  had  taken  first  place  in  the  annual  and  semi- 
annual literary  prize  competitions. 

1922-1923  will  mark  the  beginning  of  a  new  half 
century  of  life  for  the  Journal.  Naturally  the  com- 
memoration of  the  birth  of  the  magazine  and  the  cele- 
bration of  fifty  years  of  achievement  will  stimulate  the 
formation  of  plans  and  policies  for  the  future.  We 
intend  that  these  policies  should  follow  along  the  best 
lines  of  our  tradition. 

An  Authology  of  Journal  verse,  which  should  do  much 
toward  linking  the  past  with  the  present  and  the  future, 
is  in  preparation  by  the  members  of  the  Rhymers  Club 
and  will,  it  is  expected,  be  ready  for  publication  early 
this  year. 

The  first  class  in  Journalism  at  Georgetown  edited 
and  published  a  small  sample  copy  of  what  they  con- 
sidered a  college  newspaper  ought  to  be.  It 
The  was  in  March,  1919,  that  this  lone  copy  of  the 
Hoya  "Hilltop"  appeared.  With  the  second  issue  the 
name  of  the  weekly  became  the  "Hilltopper" 
and  continued  in  the  form  of  "the  smallest  college  news- 


THE  STUDENT  PUBLICATIONS  53 

paper  published  in  the  United  States,"  until  June,  1919. 
In  September,  1919  the  paper  was  enlarged  to  about  half 
its  present  dimensions  and  from  January,  1920,  on  was 
known  as  "The  Hoya."  This  name  was  adopted  from 
the  battle  cry  of  Georgetown  students  for  generations 
and  had  been  used  previously  by  some  annual  publi- 
cations. 

Since  the  paper  passed  from  the  control  of  the  class 
in  Journalism  to  figure  as  a  university  organ  its  succes- 
sive editors  have  been:  Joseph  R.  Mickler,  Jr.,  Leo  J. 
Casey,  Thomas  C.  Kinsler  and  James  J.  Sweeney.  The 
business  managers  of  the  paper  during  these  years 
were :  Joseph  J.  Greenlaw,  James  A.  Butler  and  Michael 
J.  Bruder. 

To  these  men  in  charge  of  the  finances  much  of  the 
credit  for  the  paper's  continued  existence  is  due.  The 
average  cost  per  year  of  publishing  the  paper  has  been 
about  $5,000. 

The  circulation  of  the  paper  was  confined  originally 
to  the  student  body  at  the  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences. 
It  has,  however,  developed  into  a  university  news  car- 
rier with  subscribers  in  the  various  schools  and  among 
the  alumni  and  friends  of  Georgetown.

To  the  President  of  the  University. 

Sir:  I  herewith  submit  a  report  of  the  Reserve 
Officers'  Training  Corps,  Georgetown  University,  1919- 
1922. 

The  primary  object  of  the  Reserve  Officers'  Training 
Corps  is  to  provide  a  system  of  military  training  at 
civil  education  institutions  for  the  purpose  of  qualifying 

selected  students  of  such  institutions  as  re- 
Object      serve  officers  in  the  Army  of  the  United  States. 

It  is  intended  to  attain  this  object  during  the 
time  that  students  are  pursuing  their  general  or  pro- 
fessional studies,  with  the  least  practical  interference 
With  their  preparation  for  civil  careers.  Upon  gradua- 
tion from  college,  under  the  present  plans  of  the  War 
Department,  qualified  R.  O.  T.  C.  graduates  who  volun- 
tarily apply  for  commissions  in  the  Officers'  Reserve 
Corps  are  commissioned  and  assigned  to  organizations 
of  the  Organized  Reserve  Corps  or  National  Guard  in 
the  localities  nearest  their  places  of  residence.  In  this 
way  there  is  established  some  continuity  of  service  be- 
tween service  in  the  colleges  and  in  the  citizen  army  of 
the  United  States.  The  National  Defense  Act  of  1920, 
prescribes  that  the  new  Army  of  the  United  States  shall 
be  made  up  of  the  Regular  Army,  the  National  Guard 
and  the  Organized  Reserves. 

That  the  training  as  given  at  Georgetown  has  been  an 
unqualified  success  is  evidenced  by  the  rapid  expansion 
of  the  military  organization  since  1919,  and  the  results 

accomplished.  Following  the  World  War, 
Success  the  War  Department  urged  upon  the  leading 
of  the  educational  institutions  of  the  country  the 
Unit  necessity    and    value    of    including    military 

training  in  the  education  of  the  college  gradu- 
ate so  that  in  case  of  a  future  emergency  there  would  be 

55 


56  GEORGETOWN   UNIVERSITY 

instantly  available  a  large  number  of  trained  officers 
to  man  the  armies  of  the  country  upon  which  the  safety 
of  the  nation  would  depend.  Many  institutions  respond- 
ed to  the  patriotic  call;  others  that  had  expierenced 
difficulty  in  maintaining  their  War  time  organizations, 
known  as  the  Student  Army  Training  Corps  (S.  A.  T. 
C),  discontinued  military  training  altogether.  George- 
town was  one  of  the  institutions  to  reorganize  her  mili- 
tary department,  following  the  demobilization  of  the 
S.  A.  T.  C,  in  January,  1919.  The  enrollment  num- 
bered 103  cadets.  In  1920,  the  enrollment  Was  in- 
creased to  140  and  at  the  present  time  there  are  316 
students  receiving  military  instruction,  256  in  the  In- 
fantry Unite  at  the  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences  and  60 
in  the  Medical  Unit  at  the  Medical  School.  It  is  expected 
that  the  enrollment  next  year  will  reach  the  500  mark. 

Both  the  faculty  and  the  student  body  have  enthusi- 
astically supported  the  various  military  activities.  En- 
rollment in  the  College  on  a  voluntary  basis  compares 
favorably  with  some  institutions  where  military  training 
is  compulsory.  Approximately  80  per  cent,  of  the  last 
Freshman  Class  at  the  College  voluntarily  enrolled. 

A  military  staff  of  five  commissioned  officers  (two 
Majors,  three  Captains)  and  three  non-commissioned 
officers  (one  Master  Sergeant  and  two  Sergeants)  is  now 
on  duty  at  the  institution  conducting  the 
Military  courses  of  instruction  as  required  by  the  War 
Staff  Department.    The  following  table  will  show 

the  changes  in  the  details  of  the  Regular  Army 
personnel  since  January,  1919:

THE   MILITARY  CLUBS  57 

There  are  two  courses,  the  Basic  and  the  Advanced. 
The  first  two  years  in  the  R.  0.  T.  G.  comprise  the  Basic 
Course,  and  the  last  two  years  the  Advanced  Course. 
Basic  Course  students  devote  at  least  three 
Course  of  hours  per  week  and  Advanced  Course  stu- 
instruction  dents  five  hours  per  week  to  military  in- 
struction. Appropriate  scholastic  credits 
toward  a  degree  are  granted  for  a  successful  completion 
of  the  R.  O.  T.  C.  courses.  That  the  R.  O.  T.  C.  has  a 
broad  and  worthy  mission  can  not  be  doubted.  The 
means  and  methods  employed  by  the  R.  O.  T.  C.  to  ac- 
complish its  mission  commend  themselves  to  every 
considerate  American.  The  course  of  training  as  now 
laid  down  by  the  War  Department  is  based  upon  several 
assumptions  established  as  lessons  of  the  World  War: 

1st — That  the  commissioned  officers  of  the  future 
Armies  of  the  United  States  must  mostly  be  college  men. 

2nd — That  the  education  of  the  modern  citizen  to  be 
complete  must  include  a  knowledge  of  Military  Science. 

3rd — That  every  subject  taught  in  any  collegiate  de- 
partment possesses  some  military  value. 

4th — That  military  subjects  can  be  so  arranged  as  to 
materially  enrich  the  academic  courses. 

5th — That  every  student  should  be  brought  into  inti- 
mate contact  with  the  national  government  and  be 
schooled  in  a  clear  understanding  of  his  rights,  privil- 
eges and  obligations  as  a  citizen. 

6th — That  every  member  of  a  military  establishment 
must  be  physically  as  well  as  mentally  fit  for  his  every 
duty. 

7th — That  every  college  man  should  be  taught  the 
meaning  of  discipline,  the  power  of  confidence,  the 
value  of  self  control,  the  requisites  of  leadership,  respect 
for  authority,  the  force  of  morale,  the  care  of  mind  and 
body  and  the  rewards  of  promptness  and  obedience. 

In  connection  with  the  R.  0.  T.  C.  course  of  instruc- 
tion, Basic  Course  students  are  privileged  to  attend  a 
summer  camp  while  Advanced  Corps  students  are 
required  to  attend  a  camp.  During  the  past 
Summer  three  years,  the  camps  attended  by  George- 
Camps  twon  students  have  been  in  different  localities. 
In  1919  Georgetown  had  representatives  at 


58  GEORGETOWN  UNIVERSITY 

Camp  Lee,  Va.,  Camp  Devens,  Mass.,  and  Camp  Know, 
Ky.,  a  student  having  the  privilege  of  attending  the 
camp  nearest  his  home.  In  1920  all  Georgetown  stu- 
dents that  attended  camp  went  to  Camp  Devens,  Mass. 
According  to  the  report  of  the  Company  Commander 
of  the  organization  to  which  Georgetown  students  were 
assigned,  the  honor  of  making  the  highest  record  in 
Marksmanship  fell  to  Georgetown.  There  were  16  in- 
stitutions represented  in  the  company.  In  1921  the 
Georgetown  camp  contingent  attended  the  camp  held  at 
Plattsburg  Barracks,  N.  Y.  There  were  38  institutions 
represented  at  Plattsburg.  The  following  summary  is 
given  of  the  honors  won  there: 

1st — Out  of  10  students  selected  by  a  special  board 
of  officers  as  "distinguished"  in  all  phases  of  military 
training,  two — Joseph  A.  McDonough  and  Edward  D. 
Murphy — were  from  Georgetown.  (No  other  institu- 
tion succeeded  in  placing  more  than  one  student  on  the 
distinguised  list.) 

2nd — In  the  list  published  in  camp  orders  of  the 
highest  point  Winners  in  the  entire  camp  of  982  students. 
The  first  and  second  students  on  the  list  were  Joseph  A. 
McDonough  and  Edward  D.  Murphy  with  scores  of  1409 
and  1406  respectively,  out  of  a  possible  1500. 

3rd — Edward  D.  Murphy  won  the  pistol  championship 
of  the  camp. 

4th — In  general  efficiency,  Georgetown  was  rated  as 
second  on  the  list  of  38  institutions. 

The  summer  camp  for  the  Infantry  Unit  will  be  held 
at  Edgewood  Arsenal,  Md.,  from  June  15  to  July  26, 1922. 
Students  from  the  Medical  School  will  attend  camp  at 
Carlisle  Barracks,  Pa. 

In  order  to  demonstrate  to  neW  students  the  activities 
of  the  R.  O.  T.   C.   and  the  handling  of  the  various 

weapons  used  in  modern  war,  there 
Military  was  neld  soon  after  the  opening  of 

Demonstrations,  College  in  1920  and  again  in  1921,  a 
Competitions,  military    maneuver    on    the    college 

Inspections,  grounds  featuring  a  simulated  attack 

Parades,  Etc.  on  an  enemy  machine  gun  nest.    All 

of  the  equipment  issued  the  R.  O.  T. 
C,  including  Browning  Machine  Guns,  Automatic  rifles, 


THE  MILITARY  CLUBS  59 

Springfield  rifles,  hand  grenades,  rifle  grenades,  signal 
pyrotechnics,  carrier  pigeons,  smoke  torches,  37  m-m. 
guns  and  Stokes  Mortars,  were  employed  in  the  maneu- 
ver. In  addition  to  the  foregoing,  five  airplanes  from 
Boiling  Field,  a  tank  from  Camp  Meade,  Md.,  and  a 
wireless  telephone  set  for  communication  between  a 
station  set  up  on  the  College  grounds  and  the  airplanes 
overhead,  assisted  in  the  problem.  Both  demonstrations 
were  very  realistic  and  were  muchly  enjoyed  by  stu- 
dents and  visitors.  Such  demonstrations  are  not  only 
great  morale  builders  for  a  military  organization,  but 
they  are  very  instructive  to  the  students  who  participate 
in  them. 

Competitions  of  various  kinds  enter  into  all  phases  of 
military  training  in  the  R.  O.  T.  C.  There  are  class 
competitions  for  honors  in  scholarship,  rifle  competi- 
tions between  classes  and  sections  of  the  several  classes, 
and  competitive  drills  of  various  kinds.  Every  effort  is 
made  to  develop  the  pride  of  the  cadet  in  his  own 
record,  that  of  the  R.  O.  T.  C.  and  also  in  the  institution. 
A  system  of  efficiency  charts  showing  the  progress  of 
each  cadet  in  Scholarship,  Deportment,  Attendance,  etc., 
is  made  and  posted  every  month  so  as  to  show  each 
individual  his  record  in  relation  to  every  other  member 
of  the  unit.  This  system  has  resulted  in  securing  a  high 
standard  of  training  in  the  military  department.  At  the 
end  of  the  school  year  in  1921,  and  again  this  year,  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce  of  Washington  awarded  four 
prizes  to  the  winners,  one  in  each  class,  of  the  efficiency 
tests  in  the  R.  O.  T.  C.  Robert  W.  C.  Wimsatt,  '21; 
Joseph  A.  McDonough,  '22;  Edward  D.  Murphy,  23,  and 
James  A.  Willis,  '24,  won  the  efficiency  prizes  in  1921. 
On  May  26,  1921,  Military  Day,  the  annual  competitive 
drills  were  held.  The  list  of  events  included  an  indi- 
vidual competitive  drill  (won  by  Godwin  Ordway,  '24), 
an  inter-company  drill  (won  by  Company  B,  command- 
eded  by  J.  Fuller  Morgan,  '21),  and  marksmanship  con- 
tests with  the  automatic  rifles  (won  by  Joseph  A.  Mc- 
Donough, '22),  and  the  machine  gun  (won  by  Robert  W. 
C.  Wimsatt,  '21.)     The  events  included  in  the  Military

Brennan,  H.  B.;  Carney,  G.  M.;  Little,  J.  F.;  McDonough, 
J.  A.;  McNally,  J.  A.;  Morgan,  R.  E.;  O'Neill,  C.  J.,  and 
Roddy,  J.  B.  Mr.  Joseph  A.  McDonough,  of  New  York, 
is  announced  as  the  "Honor  Graduate,"  class  of  1922. 

The  most  important  public  appearance  of  the  R.  0.  T. 
C.  battalion  during  the  past  three  years  was  on  Armis- 
tice Day,  November  11,  1921,  when  the  entire  unit 
marched  in  the  procession  in  connection  with  the  burial 
of  the  Unknown  Soldier  in  Arlington  Cemetery.  The 
cadets  spent  many  extra  hours  of  free  time  in  prepara- 
tion to  march  on  that  memorable  occasion  and  the  bat- 
talion was  highly  complemented  by  the  Army  officers  in 
charge  for  the  excellent  showing  made. 

The  R.  0.  T.  C.  has  been  inspected  numerous  times 
during   the  past  two   years  by   distinguished  visitors. 


THE   MILITARY  CLUBS  61 

Some  of  the  most  important  inspections  or  visits  are 
listed  below: 

Col.  William  C.  Rivers,  3rd  Cav.,  Commanding  Officer, 
Ft.  Meyer,  Va.,  May,  1921. 

Senator  James  W.  Wadsworth,  Jr.,  Chairman  Senate 
Military  Committee,  September,  1921. 

Marshal  Ferdinand  Foch,  Marshal  of  France,  Novem- 
ber, 1921. 

Major-General  John  A.  Lejeune,  Commandant  Marine 
Corps,  November,  1921. 

Colonel  Roure,  General  Staff  French  Army,  Military 
Advisor  Limitation  of  Armament  Conference,  Febru- 
ary, 1922. 

Colonel  Fuki  and  Staff,  Japanese  Delegation  to  Arms 
Conference,  February,  1922. 

Committee  of  General  Staff  Officers,  for  rating  as  to 
qualification  for  being  placed  on  list  of  "Distinguished 
Colleges,"  April,  1922. 

The  record  of  the  rifle  team  at  Georgetown  in  1920- 
1921  and  1921-1922  is  a  brilliant  one.  Rifle  shooting  is 
now  a  minor  sport  at  the  institution  and  many  of  the 
students  have  achieved  remarkable  success  in  it.  In 
fact,  no  other  institution  has  a  record  indicating  such  a 
large  number  of  expert  shots  as  Georgetown.  Both  last 
year  and  this  year,  the  Georgetown  second  and  third 
teams  entered  in  the  National  Rifle  Association  Inter- 
collegiate Matches  showed  themselves  far  superior  to 
the  first  teams  representing  some  of  our  largest  Amer- 
ican colleges.  It  has  been  the  policy  at  George- 
Rifle  town  to  develop  a  large  number  of  expert  rifle- 
Team  men  rather  than  a  single  team  of  five  or  six 
primarily  for  the  purpose  of  winning  matches. 
An  additional  policy  has  been  to  teach  riflemen  the  art 
of  shooting  in  all  positions  prescribed — prone,  standing, 
kneeling  and  sitting — rather  than  concentrate  all  in- 
struction on  the  prone  position,  as  many  colleges  are 
inclined  to  do. 

Membership  in  the  Georgetown  University  Rifie  Club 
is  open  to  any  undergraduate  in  the  institution  in  good 
standing.  The  club  Was  organized  in  the  fall  of  1920 
with  a  membership  of  136  members  and  it  immediately 


62  GEORGETOWN   UNIVERSITY 

affiliated  with  the  National  Rifle  Association  of  America. 
The  following  officials  were  elected : 

President,  Robert  W.  C.  Wimsatt,  '21 ;  Vice-President, 
Thomas  Finn,  '22;  Executive  Officer,  Joseph  A.  Mc- 
Donough,  '22;  Secretary,  Augustine  Malley,  '23;  Mana- 
ger, Robert  Morgan,  '22;  Student  Coach,  Edward  D. 
Murphy,  '23.  The  officers  and  non-commissioned 
officers  on  duty  with  the  R.  O.  T.  C.  offered  their  services 
as  instructors  and  official  judges.  Sergeant  Michael  J. 
Donahue  is  primarily  responsible  for  the  success  of  the 
rifle  teams  as  he  has  worked  faithfully  since  its  organi- 
zation as  instructor. 

During  the  first  season  (1920-1921)  the  team  was 
somewhat  handicapped  on  account  of  a  lack  of  neces- 
sary equipment.  The  financial  needs  of  the  club  were 
made  known  to  the  readers  of  THE  HOYA,  and  soon 
thereafter,  funds  were  available  to  purchase  modern 
rifles,  ammunition,  etc.  With  the  exception  of  the  do- 
nations made  during  the  early  part  of  the  first  season 
(1920-1921),  student  members  of  the  Rifle  Club,  by  pay- 
ing club  dues  of  $2.00  a  year,  have  financed  the  rifle 
teams.  It  is  hoped  that  Athletic  Association  will  soon 
be  able  to  take  over  this  new  sport  and  finance  it. 

In  addition  to  the  National  Rifle  Association  Matches, 
in  which  teams  representing  many  colleges  throughout 
the  United  States  participated,  Georgetown  fired  fifteen 
dual  matches  in  1920-1921.  A  summary  of  the  dual 
matches  and  of  the  National  Rifle  Association  Matches 
for  1920-1921  is  published  below:

Recapitulation :    Fired,  15 ;  lost,  1 ;  tied,  1 ;  won,  13. 

In  the  one  dual  match  lost,  ten  men  fired  on  each 
team  and  the  five  high  scores  counted  for  record.  By 
counting  the  ten  high  scores  on  each,  the  results  of  the 
match  was  a  tie  at  989. 

Georgetown  entered  two  teams  of  ten  men  each  in  the 
N.  R.  A.  Matches  (1920-1921).  This  was  an  eight-stage 
match  fired  in  the  prone  and  standing  positions.  The

Note  that  Yale  who  defeated  Georgetown  in  a  prone, 
dual,  match  came  out  below  the  Georgetown  second 
team  in  the  six-stage  N.  R.  A.  matches  fired  in  all  posi- 
tions, which  is  a  true  indication  of  the  relative  merits 
of  the  club. 

The  following  team  members  made  percentages  above 
90  per  cent,  in  the  N.  R.  A.  matches  this  season.  They 
will  be  recommended  to  the  Athletic  Association  to  be 
awarded  the  minor  "G"— A.  S.  McDill,  R.  E.  Morgan,  J.

As  a  result  of  two  very  successful  seasons,  the  George- 
town Rifle  Club  is  now  recognized  as  one  of  the  leaders 
in  the  shooting  world.  The  sport  has  been  enthusiastic- 
ally received  at  the  College  and  the  Rifle  Club  is  out  for 
the  intercollegiate  championship  in  1923. 

The  class  of  1921  was  the  first  to  turn  out  graduates 
from  the  R.  O.  T.  C.  who  were  commissioned  in  the 
Officers'  Reserve  Corps.    The  following  graduates  were 

commissioned :  Murray  MacElhinny, 
Reserve  Corps  James  Fuller  Morgan,  Paul  D.  Page, 
Commissions       Jr.,  and  Robert  W.  C.  Wimsatt.     The 

latter,  being  honor  graduate,  was  com- 
missioned in  the  Air  Service  of  the  Regular  Army  and 
is  now  in  the  service  stationed  at  Carlston  Field,  Fla. 

Commissions  will  be  awarded  to  the  following  named 
graduates  of  the  class  of  1922:  Henry  R.  Rrennan, 
George  M.  Carney,  Joseph  F.  Little,  Joseph  A.  Mc- 
Donough, James  S.  McNally,  Robert  E.  Morgan,  Cornel- 
ius J.  O'Neill,  Jr.,  John  R.  Roddy. 

Not  to  exceed  20  per  cent,  of  the  total  number  of  col- 
leges or  universities  which  maintain  senior  units  of  the 
R.  0.  T.  C.  are  eligible  to  be  designated  in  War  Depart- 
ment orders  as  "Distinguished  Col- 
Georgetown  leges."  To  be  rated  as  "Distinguish- 
A  Distinguished  ed"  is  the  aspiration  of  every  institu- 
College  tion  maintaining  military  organiza- 
tions. A  special  committee  of  the 
War  Department  General  Staff  makes  an  annual  inspec- 
tion during  April  and  May  with  a  view  to  selecting  the 
distinguished  colleges.  The  rating  "Distinguished" 
lasts  for  one  year.  The  following  outlines  and  principle 
factors  are  considered  in  the  annual  determination  of 
the  institutions  designated  for  the  distinguished  list: 
(a)  Training  and  instruction  facilities,  (b)  Support  of 
the  R.  O.  T.  C.  by  the  faculty  and  student  body,  (c) 
Efficiency  of  theoretical  and  practical  instruction. 

At  the  end  of  the  school  year,  1920-1921,  the  great 
honor  of  receiving  the  rating  "Distinguished"  was  at-

From  the  foregoing  list  it  will  be  observed  that 
Georgetown  was  classified  with  institutions  most  of 
which  have  had  military  organizations  for  many  years. 
The  inspection  by  the  General  Staff*  Committee  was 
made  on  April  24,  25  and  26  of  the  present  school  year 
and  it  will  not  be  known  until  about  graduation  time 
whether  or  not  the  rating  "Distinguished"  has  been 
maintained. 

At  any  rate,  it  may  be  said  that  the  R.  0.  T.  C.  is  now 
completing  the  most  successful  year  since  its  organiza- 
tion in  1919.  The  future  prospects  are  excellent  and  it 
is  safe  to  predict  that  this  most  worthy  organization  will 
ever  be  a  credit  to  Georgetown  and  our  great  country. 

Respectfully  submitted, 
William  H.  Hobson,  Commandant.

To  the  President  of  the  University. 

Sir:  As  Faculty  Director  of  Athletics  I  have  the 
honor  to  present  the  following  report  of  student  activi- 
ties since  September,  1919. 

During  the  three  years  that  have  just  elapsed  many 
innovations  have  taken  place  in  this  department  and 
there  is  every  indication  that  they  have  met  with  univer- 
sal approbation  on  the  part  of  all  con- 
New  cerned.  A  new  Constitution  was  written 
Constitution  and  unanimously  adopted  by  the  stu- 
dents of  the  various  departments  with 
faculty  approval.  The  entire  management  of  the  affairs 
and  property  of  the  Athletic  Association  is  vested  in  a 
Board  of  Directors  consisting  of  nine  members,  three 
of  whom  are  chosen  from  the  Faculty,  three  from  the 
Alumni  and  three  from  the  undergraduates.  The 
Faculty  members  of  the  Board  are  chosen  by  the  Presi- 
dent and  Directors  of  the  University,  the  Alumni  mem- 
bers are  chosen  by  the  Executive  Committee  of  the 
Alumni  Association,  the  undergraduates  are  selected 
by  the  undergraduates  themselves.  The  Board  meets 
the  first  Sunday  of  each  month  during  the  school  year. 
Most  satisfactory  have  been  the  results  of  this  new  or- 
ganization and  many  improvements  have  been  effected 
in  the  various  fields  of  activity.  The  full  and  unquali- 
fied requirement  of  at  least  one  year's  residence  for  all 
athletes  has  been  insisted  upon  so  that  as  far  as  eligi- 
bility goes  Georgetown  will  meet  any  team  in  the 
country  on  an  equal  basis.  However,  as  far  as  the  op- 
ponents of  the  teams  are  concerned  the  same  generous 
policy  will  be  observed  as  heretofore — the  Faculty  of 
other  recognized  institutions  are  to  pass  upon  the  eligi- 
bility of  their  contestants;  their  approval  will  be  suffi- 
cient guarantee  for  Georgetown.  The  entire  student 
body  have  accepted  this  rule  with  characteristic  enthus- 

69 


70  GEORGETOWN   UNIVERSITY 

iasm.    Special  rules  have  beeen  promulgated  governing 
the  wearing  of  the  "G." 

Never  before  in  the  history  of  the  University  has  there 
been  a  more  remarkable  record  in  athletic  contests; 
while  there  have  been  years  of  just  as  great  success  in 
one  or  two  departments  it  has  not  yet  happened  that  all 
the  departments,  major  as  well  as  minor  sports,  have  at 
the  same  time  been  so  consistently  triumphant.  This 
has,  indeed,  been  most  gratifying  to  those  in  charge;  we 
feel  that  the  energy  expended  has  developed  the  whole 
man  and  has  put  to  test  the  remarkable  versatility  of 
our  students.  It  is  recognized  by  all  educators  today 
that  organized  outdoor  sports  under  proper  supervision 
are  an  invaluable  asset  of  any  institution.  Every  effort 
has  been  made  to  engage  as  many  as  possible  in  the 
open  air  sports  and  steps  are  being  taken  that  no  student 
of  the  College  at  least  will  be  allowed  residence  on  the 
campus  who  does  not  engage  in  some  profitable  outdoor 
exercise. 

In  1921  and  1922  Robert  LeGendre,  College  '22,  re- 
peated his  remarkable  record  of  1919  when  he  not  only 
won  the  Pentathlon  Championship  at  the  Penn  Relay, 
but  also  at  the  Inter-Allied  games  held  at  Paris.  This 
blue  ribbon  event  of  the  inter-collegiate  world  has  won 

for  Georgetown  three  times  in  America 
Pentathlon  and  once  abroad  highest  commendation 

Championships  for  possessing  an  allround  athlete  of 

international  fame.  There  is  no  contest 
in  which  an  athlete  is  put  to  greater  test  nor  is  there 
any  event  in  the  entire  field  of  inter-collegiate  sport  that 
shows  needs  of  greater  versatility  and  physical  ability. 
We  are  pleased  to  note  that  Georgetown's  representa- 
tive in  his  four  remarkable  contests  not  only  carried  off 
the  palm  of  victory  but  he  has  established  Pentathlon 
records  for  the  throwing  of  the  discus  and  of  the  javelin 
and  for  the  running  of  the  200  metres. 

The  years  1921  and  1922  saw  Georgetown's  track 
athletes  carry  off  two  inter-collegiate  championships. 


THE   ATHLETIC   ASSOCIATION  71 

At  the  Harvard  games,  held  June,  1921,  Jimmy  Con- 
nolly, of  the  Law  Department,  won  the 
Intercollegiate      inter-collegiate  mile  race,  leading  the 
Championships     field  in  the  fast  time  of  four  minutes 

and  seventeen  and  one-fifth  seconds. 
This  event  was  regarded  as  one  of  the  most  spectacular 
races  of  the  year.  It  was  also  at  the  Harvard  Stadium 
that  Robert  LeGendre  won  an  inter-collegiate  cham- 
pionship through  a  broad  jump  of  twenty-three  feet 
seven  and  one-eighth  inches. 

It  was  at  the  National  Inter-Collegiate  games  held  at 
Chicago,  June,  1922,  that  Georgetown  was  again  vic- 
torious upon  the  field  and  this  time 
National  Robert  LeGendre  set  a  national  inter- 

Collegiate  collegiate  record  for  the  broad  jump 

Championship      by   a  leap   of   twenty-four  feet  three 

inches,  which  breaks  all  former  rec- 
ords by  nearly  one  foot. 

Little  need  be  said  of  Georgetown's  triumphs  in  the 
South  Atlantic  field.     It  has,  however,  been  quite  re- 
markable that  during  the  last  years 
South  our  teams  were  victorious  in  1921  on 

Atlantic  our  own  grounds  and  again  in  1922 

Championships  upon  the  field  of  the  University  of  Vir- 
ginia where  nine  South  Atlantic  col- 
leges competed.  At  Charlottesville  Georgetown  won  the 
two-day  meet  with  a  total  of  sixty-five  points  while 
Virginia  was  second  with  forty-five  points. 

It  was  upon  Franklin  Field,  University  of  Pennsyl- 
vania, that  in  May,  1922,  Georgetown  won  two  remark- 
able relay  races.    The  Distance  Medley 
R  I  Relay  race  was  won  against  a  large 

r,  ..         field  on  the  first  day  of  the  Carnival 

Championships     and  the  half_mile  relay  championship 

was  carried  off  on  the  second  day.  As 
these  were  the  feature  events  of  the  two-day  carnival, 
the  victories  were  all  the  more  gratifying. 

During  February,  1922,  at  the  National  A.  A.  U.  Meet, 
held  in  Buffalo,  Georgetown's  relay  team  became  the 


72  GEORGETOWN   UNIVERSITY 

National  Champions  for  the  Distance  Medley  Race  and 

established  a  new  indoor  record,  which 
National  may  prove  to  be  a  world's  record.    The 

Championship  contestants  represented  the  pick  of  col- 
leges and  athletic  clubs  of  the  country. 
The  time  was  seven  minutes  forty-one  and  two-fifths 
seconds — the  highest  record  up  to  that  memorable  oc- 
casion was  nearly  two  seconds  slower.  Thus  George- 
town wrests  from  Cornell  the  title  held  by  that  institu- 
tions since  1918. 

In  March,  1920,  the  Georgetown  relay  team  invaded 
the  West  for  the  second  time  in  its  history  and  was 
again  victorious.    In  1905  the  world  record  for  twelve 

hundred  yard  race  was  broken  by  the 
Western  Georgetown  team  at  St.  Louis,  Mo.    It 

Championships    was  at  Urbana  that  the  traditions  of 

1905  were  by  the  Georgetown  repre- 
sentatives. Under  the  auspices  of  the  University  of 
Illinois  the  principal  athletic  indoor  meet  of  the  West 
is  held  each  year.  Georgetown  accepted  the  invitation 
to  run  the  Medley  Relay,  a  two  mile  event,  and  was 
easily  victorious. 

At  the  Knights  of  Columbus  games  held  in  Boston, 
March,  1922,  the  Georgetown  Relay  team  defeated  Bos- 
ton College,  Fordham  and  Holy  Cross  in  the  Catholic 
College  Relay  Championship  Race  for  the 
Cardinal  Cardinal  O'Connell  Trophy.  Previously 
O'Connell  that  same  week  the  team  had  won  two 
Trophy  other  championship  races.    As  this  was  the 

first  year  this  elaborate  trophy  was  offered 
by  Boston's  distinguished  Prelate,  the  victory  was  most 
eagerly  coveted. 

In  the  many  indoor  and  dual  track  meets,  which  were 
held  during  the  three  years,  Georgetown  was  never 
defeated.    The  most  notable  dual  meet  was  with  Penn 

State  early  in  April,  1922,  in  which  Le- 
Other  Gendre  made  six  first  places  and  Con- 

Notable  nolly  two.    Among  the  victories  of  the 

Track  Events      other  meets  the  Navy  was  beaten  in  the 

Sprint  Medley  relay   and   Virginia   in 
the  two-mile  South  Atlantic  relay.    At  the  Johns  Hop- 


THE  ATHLETIC  ASSOCIATION  73 

kins  meet,  which  Georgetown  easily  won,  Fordham's 
strong  team  was  overcome  in  the  Distance  Medley  race. 
In  fact,  at  the  Georgetown  meet  and  at  the  South 
Atlantic  Championship  meets  Georgetown  has  won 
practically  every  event. 

The  Football  team  has  also  met  with  remarkable  suc- 
cesses. In  1919  the  year  was  most  noteworthy  for  the 
victory  at  Annapolis  over  the  strong  Navy  team.  It  was 
during  the  1920  season  that  Georgetown  defeated  one  of 
the  best  teams  that  Fordham  has  ever  had.    The  1921 

season  Football  team  met  only  one  defeat  and 
Football    captured    eight    victories;    Boston    College, 

Fordham  and  Holy  Cross  were  among  those 
conquered  and  thus  the  Catholic  College  Championship 
of  the  East  went  to  Georgetown.  According  to  the  1920 
edition  of  Spaulding  Football  Guide  Captain  Maloney 
of  Georgetown  is  credited  with  the  longest  punt  in  many 
years — eighty-five  years.  This  was  on  the  day  that 
Georgetown  overcame  the  Navy  at  Annapolis.  However, 
it  was  in  1921  at  the  victory  over  Holy  Cross  that  Cap- 
tain Flavin,  of  Georgetown,  set  a  record  for  punting 
that  has  never  been  equalled — one  hundred  and  ten 
years.  In  the  game  with  Georgia  School  of  Technology 
Paul  Byrne  made  the  longest  run  of  the  season — ninty 
yards  for  a  touchdown. 

The  remarkable  record  of  the  Baseball  team  for  1922 

is  still  fresh  in  the  minds  of  all.  Never  at  any 
Baseball    time  has  Georgetown  had  a  more  successful 

season.  The  following  list  bears  witness  to

The  next  best  season  in  baseball  was  in  1920  when 
Georgetown  had  twenty  decisive  victories.  Some  of  the 
teams  conquered  were  the  Navy,  Boston  College,  Yale, 
Fordham,  Lehigh,  Holy  Cross,  Princeton,  Pittsburgh 
and  Washington  and  Lee.  The  1921  season  opened  with 
a  victory  over  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  which 
was  quickly  followed  by  a  long  record  of  triumphant 
contests  which  included  Vermont,  Fordham,  Pennsyl- 
vania State  College,  Dartmouth,  Cornell,  Lafayette, 
Georgia  Tech.  The  only  game  played  with  Holy  Cross 
was  a  twelve-inning  tie.  The  percentage  for  the  year 
was  .867. 

Ever  since  Basketball  has  been  recognized  as  a  major 
sport  at  Georgetown,  interest  in  the  indoor  game  has 
been  continually  growing  and  the  enthusiasm  was  all 
the  greater  during  the  triennium  just  finished 
Basket  as  the  teams  have  had  most  remarkable  rec- 
Ball  ords.    In  1920  there  were  thirteen  victories  and 

only  one  defeat.  In  1921  an  excellent  record 
was  made,  the  strong  teams  from  Carnegie  Tech,  Brook- 
lyn Polytechnic  Institute,  Georgia  School  of  Technology, 
and  North  Carolina  Were  among  those  subdued.  Nor 
was  the  year  1922  less  successful  as  the  team  was  victor- 
ious in  eleven  games  triumphing  over  Bucknell,  Univer- 
sity of  Kentucky,  George  Washington,  Villanova  and 
West  Virginia. 

The  record  of  the  Tennis  team  has  been  unequalled  in 
the  history  of  outdoor  sport  at  Georgetown.    This  has

altogether  been  due  to  the  enthusiastic  efforts  of  a  mem- 
ber of  the  class  of  1922,  Raymond  J.  Kunkel,  of 
Tennis  Cincinnati.  The  season,  1922,  was  most  suc- 
cessful and  the  victories  were  won  from  the 
Nacy,  Bucknell,  Johns  Hopkinks,  Rutgers,  Loyola  (Bal- 
timore), George  Washington,  North  Carolina  and  Vir- 
ginia Military  Institute.  There  was  only  one  defeat;  this 
occurred  on  the  day  when  a  championship  team  had  to 
be  sent  to  Richmond  for  the  South  Atlantic  Inter-col- 
legite  title,  which  title  was  awarded  to  Georgetown. 
This  victory  was  received  with  great  enthusiasm  at  the 
University  and  enhanced  Georgetown's  reputation  in 
the  world  of  outdoor  sport 

We  regret  to  state  that  our  athletic  accommodations 
have  not  kept  pace  with  our  successes  in  the  various 
fields.  Much  is  needed  to  supply  proper  athletic  facil- 
ities for  the  contestants  and  spectators.  It  is  hoped  that 
the  expansion  of  the  University  planned  by  the  Board 
of  Regents  will  take  into  serious  consideration  the  needs 
of  the  Athletic  Association.  As  it  is  the  purpose  to  use 
the  present  athletic  field  for  building  sites,  provision 
must  be  made  for  ample  and  up-to-date  athletic  ap- 
pointments. There  is  need  of  a  stadium  for  the  football 
and  track  events  and  also  of  an  attractive  and  suitable 
baseball  field.  Every  effort  is  being  made  to  encourage 
those  who  can  to  help  Georgetown  to  be  second  to  none 
in  athletic  accommodations. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Vincent  S.  McDonough,  S.J., 
July  1,  1922.  Director,
